It was Jonathan Klein, he said we sit at our computers in pajamas thinking we are experts ... Steven Hayes called it a cheap shot and insulting to a lot of folks..

We’ll examine the issue with Stephen Hayes of The Weekly Standard and Jonathan Klein, former executive vice president of CBS News and founder of FeedRoom.com.
With the inflation of reporting from a job to a profession, pomposity and hypocrisy became the most important talent.
With the blogosphere, we can find all the news ourselves, we no longer need anyone to bring it to us or interpret it for us.
Forget the talking points and practice "You want fries with that?" because your career is obsolete.

INTERNET INFO-TEA PARTY
To paraphrase Triumph, "The Old Media is great-for me to be PUKIN on!"
Awesome rant!
Pajama FReeping bump!
Who knew Algore's little invention
would eventually be the MSM and
'Rats undoing?
I just emailed your rant to Hugh Hewitt, suggesting he read a portion of it on his show this coming week.
Good piece, and right,too
Wow...That was good. You have given the MSM fair warning.

Sorry, I tend to see them as one amorphous blob of bias with one fat ass.
If this beautifully written letter is a 'rant', then I want MORE!
How I wish this could be placed in front of Dan, Tom, Peter, Katie colic, Tim Russert, Chris Matthews, matt lauer, charley gibson, and on and on as required reading.
Your piece of work is a REAL PIECE OF ART! Signed, sealed and (sure hope it gets) delivered!
Free Republic is like an open forum where the best and the brightest minds gather to discuss ways to make the world a better place.
The Media Machine is a closed space where the most manipulative and most charming gather to discuss ways to make the world a better place for them and no-one else.
"Don’t you wish you could regulate us?"
McCain-Feingold sure is trying to regulate us. With the 60-day gag rule, the news media slides right into the driver's seat. Maybe there should be some additional "equal-time" rules:
1) For every piece of feces thrown at one candidate, and equal amount of feces must be thrown at the other candidate.
2) Media must practice due diligence to ensure that forged, false, or otherwise inaccurate feces is not used in "reporting".
3) "Fair and Balanced" must be practiced, and not just on Fox.
The MSM MUST exist....there are a LOT of people with IQ's UNDER 90!! What else would they watch???
Are you following me? LOL
These guys are still sore that it was a "Internet Guy, Matt Drudge" that broke the story about Monica's dress proving that one of their heroes, Bill Clinton was a liar and that Hillary (vast right wing conspiracy) was a fool.
Well done Dog!
You rock! I would love to see you take over for Dan RaTHer on the MSM.
Thank you !
Man...I use NOTHING on that pitiful list except Campbell's soup.....but I can buy Progresso.
YOU speak for ME!!!! (Well, but, you said it better than I could have!) THANKS!!!! We needed this!!!!
